Today, Friday, September 19, 2008, I bought SPY, first for client accounts, then for my personal accounts. This adds to the position I established late yesterday. I am putting all remaining cash to work.

The events of this week are truly of historic proportions. This morning's extraordinarily strong open was an example. The S&P was up as much as 6% just in the first half-hour of trading today. I could hardly ask for stronger confirmation that my bullish call late yesterday was a good one, at least in the short term.

I still very much worry that this rally will be short-lived, and I stand ready to retreat to cash on very short notice. But I do sense at least a trading opportunity here. I think there is more upside just ahead.

The government announced extraordinary steps to shore up troubled financial institutions, and this seems to be restoring investor confidence, at least temporarily!!

I'm seeing incredible buying volume late yesterday and this morning, and it is this volume that has persuaded me to set aside at least temporarily my technical indicators (which remain overall bearish) and ride the coattails of the S&P 500.
